Three of my pressure sensors have died so the warning light just flashes all the time. Is there a source for low cost sensors or should I just remove the bulb from the warning light? Thanks.

Search for tpms mod, it is a lot either than removing the light bulb.

Looks like OEM is 100ish, but you can get aftermarket for much cheaper. (As always)...

Thanks, I'll have to try that when it cools down enough to work outside again.
What year? What vehicle? What has changed? What tires? Lifted? How long has the light been flashing?
The odds of three sensors failing in a short time frame are pretty high.
Doesn't pass the sniff test to me, my money is on something else...unless you've been beating the crap out of the rims. Or been looking at the warning light for a couple of years.

Batteries die with age. I had to do three on our '05 due to dead batteries but just went ahead and did all five.
Bought replacements from eBay and had them fitted by my local tire guys. Then I used my TPMS Reset Tool to register the new sensors to the computer.

I found a much easier way to disable the warning light than the one described here. I just unplugged the cable from the box, plugged a wire into the hole for pin 6 and grounded it. It only took 10 minutes.
